Elizabeth Gallagher has been balancing on the ragged edge for a while now. Then, a rough case on the boards of her 911-operator job collides with a family conflict at home, and Elizabeth finds herself finally coming apart at the seams. A four-state road trip - trapped in a car with her mother - is the last thing she needs.

Their destination may be beautiful Hatteras Island, but the reason for going is anything by pleasant. After one disastrous hurricane, and with a second one working its way up the coast, its time to convince Aunt Sandy to abandon her little seaside store on North Carolinas Outer Banks and return to the family fold in Michigan.

But when the storm sweeps through, the three women will discover that sisterhood and the sea can change hearts, lives, and futures...often in the most unpredictable of ways.

Randall Grange has been tricked into admitting herself into a treatment center and she doesn't know why. She's not a party hound like the others in her therapy group - but then again, she knows she can't live without pills or booze.

Title: The Unconsoled

Author: Kazuo Ishiguro

Narrator: Simon Vance

Format: Unabridged

Length: 19 hrs and 29 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-07-17

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 10 votes

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

From the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and author of the Booker Prize-winning novel The Remains of the Day, here is a novel that is at once a gripping psychological mystery, a wicked satire of the cult of art, and a poignant character study of a man whose public life has accelerated beyond his control.

The setting is a nameless Central European city where Ryder, a renowned pianist, has come to give the most important performance of his life. Instead, he finds himself diverted on a series of cryptic and infuriating errands that nevertheless provide him with vital clues to his own past.

In The Unconsoled Ishiguro creates a work that is itself a virtuoso performance, strange, haunting, and resonant with humanity and wit.

Critic Reviews:

"With this stunning new novel, cast in the form of a postmodern nightmare, Ishiguro tells a powerful story in which he once again exploits a narrator's utter lack of self-knowledge to create a devastating deadpan irony." (Publishers Weekly, Starred Review)

Members Reviews:

A Very Dreamlike Novel

In fact it was so convincingly dreamlike that it put me to sleep. That said, read some of this. It reveals what happens when people become so obsessed with artiface that they lose themselves.

Brilliant

Kazuo Ishiguroâs âThe Unconsoledâ is a true masterpiece. You put Wes Anderson, Alice in the Wonderland, 8 Â and Kafka in a saucepan, mix it well and you have âThe Unconsoledâ

The book is absolutely brilliant. It is quite dense, but also comical. I finished it about one month ago and it is still fresh in my mind. The whole story is absurd. But then I realized that our society is even worse.

I have been reading some articles/reviews about the book. There are quite of few of theories. This is not a book about answers, but questions. âThe Unconsoledâ is so multidimensional that is very likely that readers interpreted in a way that is not conforming to Ishiguroâs intent. I hope you enjoy it.

Dysfunctional

This is a very hard read, long, eerie, with no concrete plot, disturbing, off-putting at times. I have read a few other Ishiguro's books and have always been highly impressed with his writing, so I kept reading in the hope that something will actually happen, that things that sounded simply absurd would suddenly make sense, that open questions would be answered. I thought that maybe there would be a "Never let me go" kind of "twist"...? But no: it took me to the end of the book to realize this is what this book is all about, exploiting the absurd. Once I accepted it, I found the whole thing brilliant - but what a fight it was!

Sounding the Depths

Ishiguro, Kazuo. The Unconsoled.

I found this very fluent account of the narrator's struggle to become orientated in a nameless town in possibly Germany to be compulsive reading. It is partly about memory loss and it recalled to me Karinthy's Metropole,where a professor of linguistics ends up in a bustling modern city in central Europe in which nobody speaks any of the languages he knows. In The Unconsoled Mr Ryder, Ishiguro's narrator-hero, is met with extreme politeness by hotel staff, but frustratingly he fails to get exact clarification of his mission. He is scheduled to address an audience in a small town where Mr Brodsky, a reformed alcoholic pianist has returned to perform some classical studies.

Publisher's Summary:

A man receives the best Christmas present he could ask for: the chance to rewrite the past.

Jason Chercher is not doing well in love or life. Just two weeks after his wife leaves him, he receives a phone call that his estranged mother has passed away, days before Christmas - leaving her home and all her belongings to him. Frankly, he would like to see everything just burned. But curiosity about his past and anxiety about his future fuels him to make the drive from Salt Lake City to her home in Medford, Oregon. Maybe cleaning out her house will be slightly less depressing than spending the holidays alone, watching reruns of Christmas classics.

While going through her things, he comes upon her diary and the record of his childhood. He learns that his mother suffered from severe depression and that during that difficult time, he was taken care of by a young, unwed mother who was living with his family. The only clue he has to the woman's identity is her name: Noel, which is an eerily fitting discovery on Christmas Eve. As Jason reads the diary, he begins to uncover the source of his pain in relationships and understands that what he believed to be the truth of his past was actually a lie. That's when he begins a journey to find Noel, wondering if she might hold the truth he needs to bring him peace and love.

Typical Evans Christmas story

Each year I enjoy reading a mushy Richard Paul Evans at Christmas time. This one is not a Christmas story, but the present day portion does take place around Christmas. Its a short, typical boy meets girl, boy looses girl.... with a feel good ending. Enjoy!

Not Enough Noel!

Absolutely loved this book from start to finish! I was sad when the story concluded and will be re-reading this one for sure!

Great read

I enjoyed every minute of Noels Diary. I was happy it was read by the author. Made it more special.

I am in Love with Mr Evans -

I Love his Characters and their beautiful Stories - It is a Place worth going , especially at C- mas Time -

I could really relate to this story...

Thank you for speaking the truth about life and love! Forgiveness and loving yourself is so important.

Title: An Irish Country Practice

Publisher: Macmillan Audio

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 75 votes

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

"The charm of Taylor's Irish Country tales is brought to life in John Keating's performance. His Irish lilt will transport listeners straight to Ballybucklebo...Keating's pacing and inflections are perfect as he gives a unique vocal personality to each character." - AudioFile Magazine on An Irish Country Love Story

The An Irish Country Practice is the 12th heartwarming installment in New York Times and Globe and Mail best-selling author Patrick Taylor's beloved Irish Country series.

Once, not too long ago, there was just a single Irish country doctor tending to the lively little village of Ballybucklebo: Doctor Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly. Now his thriving practice is growing by leaps and bounds.

Not only has O'Reilly taken a new trainee under his wing, Doctor Connor Nelson, he's also added a spirited Labrador puppy to his ever-expanding household at Number One Main Street. Meanwhile, his trusted partner, young Doctor Barry Laverty, finds himself wondering if he's truly ready to settle down and start a family with his lovely fiancée, Sue.

As the doctors cope with domestic and professional challenges, they also look after their patients and their ailments, including a mysterious cough, a housewife whose frequent "accidents" may have a disturbing cause, and a respected colleague who might be succumbing to an old vice.

All is not sickness and worry, however. There's plenty of joy and merriment to be found as well, from a visiting circus to racing to sailing...and maybe even a happy ending or two.

This touching audiobook is as warm and cozy as the lovable town in which it takes place.

Awesome

Awesome as usual. Hope there are more books to come! We need to find out how the honeymoon goes, how Hercules survives the monastery and how Fingals retirement comes about!!

Love these books

I feel apart of the community!! These are so well written and so wonderful!! A worthwhile read!!!!

Dissapointing

This most recent addition to the series lacks a consistent story line and character development that most enjoyed in the prior installments in the series. Lots of definitions of medical terminology and dog training techniques.

Well worth the wait!

Great characters and as always a beautiful slice of life. I enjoyed every moment .Thanks

Loved it

This is the first book Ive read by Jennifer Colman and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Very sweet story!

I had such a lovely time with this book

This book was exactly what I needed. I love these characters, what a mish mash with little and yet so much to recommend them. Perfect story for this time of the year. I cannot do the things I once did so easily, this book took my mind right into it and thoroughly entertained me. Thank you truly.

delicious

A bit wordy. Sweet story. Most of the voices were good. Great setting and food detail.

struggled

The last few minutes didn't make up for hours of misery . No southern man sounds like poor Huckle.

Magical

I really enjoyed this book. The story and the atmosphere where perfectly described. The only thing that bothered me was Huckles accent. Ive never meet anyone from Virginia with such a deep

Southern accent like that. Besides that very charming.

Publisher's Summary:

From Weekday Brides to First Wives, a dazzling series about four women and their alliance of newfound friendship, unexpected love, and second chances.

Cynical divorce attorney Lori Cumberland lives by one motto: Love is grand, but divorce is a hundred grand. With one failed marriage under her own personal belt, Lori had fallen hard and early - and it isn't something she plans on repeating. She's content focusing on the temporary marriages of her rich and famous clients. When she joins some of her recent divorcées on a celebratory cruise, her only vow is fun, sun, and new friends. But Lori finds herself tempted by a jury of one.

For Reed Barlow, falling into the world of private investigation was easy. He knows the law and knows how to avoid breaking it - all while doing his job. His rule to live by? No emotion, no involvement...until Lori. His charming smile and cocky attitude distracts Lori and lowers her guard, which is exactly what Reed desires.

But what appears as a one-time-only flirtation may be a plot orchestrated by Reed. As he's taking his investigation to a dangerous level, it's Lori who could end up in jeopardy. Reed has only one shot for Lori to grant him a second chance. But if he comes clean with her, he blows his cover. And that just might cost him the opportunity for an alliance of family...and of love.

Good, if you like chick lit

I don't remember why I bought this book. It was a mistake. It is a worthwhile story for those who enjoy chick lit or modern romance novels. It is a cute story.

Great spin off series to weekday brides!

The characters came to life in Catherine Bybee's spin off series. The narrator however had a robotic voice with no inflection.

Loved the Romance and Mystery!

I loved that this book had more than just romance. I loved the mystery of everything. It really kept me guessing. I love Catherine Bybee's books and this was definitely no exception. It was wonderfully written and Emma Wilder did a great job. I love when I run across a good narrator. Especially a female who can read with a believable male voice.

Robotic reading!

I could not get through this Audible version because the performance was so dull and robotic. Lack of real intonation and worse lack of ability to change voices between characters. I want not a fan of the story line enough to want to read the book on my Kindle. Sorry.

Robotic Narration

I wanted to like this. Was looking forward to some Catherine Bybee magic, instead I found myself annoyed by this mechanical noise. It's like having SIRI read to you. I'll just read the book for myself

Publisher: Recorded Books

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 61 votes

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

The author of more than a million books sold brings a gripping saga of the little girl who goes missing in 1943 and the sister who remains, forced to live with the consequences of the event for the next 70 years of her life.

When cold case agent Meghan DeFord is forced to take a six-week leave of absence after a traffic accident, she chooses to spend the time with her grandmother, whose 80th birthday is approaching. Meghan has wonderful memories of childhood summers with her Grandma Hazel and anticipates a time of relaxation and filling a scrapbook with pictures of their time together.

Meghan's mother, Diane, arrives unexpectedly and brings her long resentment towards Hazel for her overprotectiveness and near paranoia. During their time together, Hazel confesses her long-held secret: When she was a child, her little sister disappeared and no one ever found out what happened to her. That loss skewed Hazel's view of the world and affected every relationship. Meghan determines to discover not only what happened to Maggie, but to heal the rift between the two women she loves most in the world.

I couldnt stop listening

I usually only listen while I run or drive longer distances, but the character were so real and the story so compelling that I couldnt stop listening!

Amazing story and narrator

Loved this book from the very beginning. Characterization and dialogue are very real and it seems like real people. I hated to see it end. Love this author who never disappoints and the narration was also excellent. Story makes you think about the what ifs.

Loved it

I really enjoyed this story. The use of Bible verses and a Christian man as one of the main characters was a true blessing. It was so very heartwarming. I did guess what happened to Maggie but that did not make it any less interesting to me.

Could have been better

What the author did well: Captured, at least to a degree, intergenerational jealousy and envy, and behaviors between family as they try to cope.

What the author did poorly: (trying to not post spoilers so it will be vague) the stereotypical recite the magic formula and poof! Everything is better and they all live happily ever after. Also, the coma thing has been done too many times.

The story starts off very slowly. It eventually speeds up to a walk. The mystery showed its solution at the very start, so no surprise later on.

I wish the author had instead shown grandmas struggle with faith between the setup and the get together in Las Vegas. Without any indication that she wrestled with God, she's a 2-dimensional, oblivious sheep.

Not What I Was Expecting

The story was less a mystery and suspense novel and more a story about mending the relationships between three generations of women. Another major theme was their relationship with God. The actual searching and finding of Maggie was uneventful and mostly in the background of the story. I think I wouldve enjoyed the story more if finding Maggie was more a central part of the story. But for what it was, it was a sweet story.
